David on February 16, 2026

Cricket clubs in Shropshire can now register their All Stars and Dynamos sessions with the ECB ahead of the opening of bookings next month.

Clubs should log in to their Clubspark account with the details of their programmes for this Summer – you never know, you might even help inspire a future England star.

Cricket Shropshire’s Early Engagement Programme Manager Darrell Corfield said: “Could I please ask you all to start completing your Club Checklists which have all have now been reset.  

“Congratulations to those who have already done so! 

“There is a link below to a video that shows you how to do this if you are unfamiliar.  This link also leads to the Zenhelp desk which also has many other useful ‘how to’ guides.”

CLUB CHECKLIST HELP

Darrell added: “Whilst you are doing your Checklists can I also ask you to set up your courses for this Summer.  

“The link below shows you how to do this if you are not familiar with the process.  The earliest start date the ECB promise to have you participants their kit by is May 8.”

SETTING UP COURSES

The Club Priority Window opens will run from March 1-12 where clubs can promote their sessions to youngsters who attended last Summer.

Young Ambassadors Programme fully booked

David on December 9, 2025

Cricket Shropshire’s popular Young Ambassadors Programme has once again proved to be a big draw.

Our planned course starting in the February half-term in 2026 is now fully booked.

The first Young Ambassadors programme took place in 2021 with the aim of helping youngsters develop their leadership skills and then put them into practice by volunteering at their clubs.

Dozens of youngsters have graduated from the programme since then and returned to their clubs and put their new skills to good use.

Cricket Shropshire Lead Officer Steve Reese said: “It’s great to see the popularity on our Young Ambassadors Programme – it shows the benefit of getting young people involved in all aspects of the game at an early stage.

“We will review our options early in the New Year and see if it is possible to run another course starting in February to meet the obvious demand there is out there for this offering.”

For more information on the Young Ambassadors Programme, contact Shannon Aston via shannon.aston@cricketshropshire.co.uk

Included were sessions on batting against pace, bowling tactical scenarios and fielding drills.
